lyrics

A couple bad choices
A few bad beats
A grand illusion
Thin buffer from mean streets
You think you can help me?
But how can you know
Too many broken dishes I don't see a way back home

I'm waiting on something, something
Hoping that there's more
I'm praying for someone, someone
Through that open door

Someone to give me hope
Someone to bring me faith
Someone that I can trust
Someone to lift me up

Help me up, help me up

I hear the church organ
Morning noon and night
Where is my path forward
When you know you can rewind

You say I need a plan
But brother I'm not sure
My plans got me nowhere, its dark and lonely to the core

I keep on trying, trying
To keep my feet up on the ground
I know family often shows up when your world's turned upsidown

I'm waiting on something, something
Hoping that there's more
I'm praying for someone, someone
Through that open door
Someone to give me hope
Someone to bring me faith
Someone that I can trust
Someone to lift me up

Help me up, help me

I won't take your hand
It must be God's plan
I'll sing along, don't wait too long

about

Katie Ferrara Los Angeles, California

"It begins with a bell-like shimmer of guitar followed a light strum and the sweet sonic purity of an angel caught absently singing a delicate melody to herself, unaware she has an audience. Katie Ferrara’s voice entrances with the fragile beauty of a blossoming rose and stirs the soul the way a gentle touch tingles flesh."-Allen Foster (Songwriter’s Monthly) ... more
